ever the optimist long term with regards to the u.s. economy. he gave us a statement as well. he said "the american economy has worked well since 1776, albeit with periodic and sometimes severe interruptions, and will continue to do so. berkshire will invest a record amount again in 2013 in plant and equipment. what's right with america far outshadows what's wrong with washington." now, some could argue if we do get past this fiscal cliff and address the debt ceiling, 2013 could actually be a good year for the economy. the housing market continues to recover. we do see an energy boom, as well, but, you know, i spoke with former treasury secretary robert rubin, as well and i think he summed it up by saying this really was a missed opportunity that we're seeing right here for some sort of grand bargain for a big deal to address the debt limit here and so far we haven't been doing that. >> and, bianna, i would not count on these guys finally getting their act together in any significant way even if we get a mini deal. thank you so much to both of you. bianna and leigh, thank you
